“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You will note that he has had his own psychic experiences, and has been able to draw knowledge from them and from his own intuitions. He has followed through by using the intellect, but the intuitional data, as always, provides the direct experience upon which the intellect can then work.

This does not mean that apparitions are only the result of such construction on the part of the perceiver. The perceiver constructs the pseudomaterial apparition as he constructs the physical image of his contemporaries, but in, or rather and in line with telepathic data that is received by or from the consciousness whose material image is being constructed.

The difference is not in construction, for the methods of construction are the same. For example, Mr. A in his bedroom telepathically picks up the thought of his brother many miles distant. Now. If he merely picks up his brother’s thought, and the thought is, quote: “I am dying. I wish I could say goodbye to my brother,” then the receiver of the message could form the apparition of the dying brother, and then perceive it in his bedroom.

You have noticed in our own work that oftentimes information will be perceived by Ruburt in terms of visual images. I do not give Ruburt the information in this manner. The images are formed from my ideas. Usually they are formed by his ideas. I try to direct his image making, but in both instances the same process of image making is involved. You can understand in fact the way in which sense images are organized much more clearly by studying instances where sense images exist without an actual object representing them in the physical universe. This shows that sense impressions are independent, you see, of objects.

Now, our object. Small. He fingers it in his pocket. Something like a medal, but not round. Resembling a short squat cross in shape, but more filled in, in the center, and this portion scalloped in some manner, and inscribed. Of dark color. The object is fairly old. A metal color, somewhat of a mixture resembling gray greens, with a silverish colored tinge. A date on it. Connected with the object also an 1874 date, referring to the beginning of a tradition or establishment.
